From the rustic to the sleek and modern, birdhouses of all sorts comprise the display at Kondos Gallery. One formed of crumpled sheet music. Another a multi-family avian dwelling shaped as a cross with Mickey Mouse plush impaled to it. An ornate paper castle with scenes from classic fairy tales peek out through sides cutout of towering cardboard creations. A street lamp turned dwelling.

None the imitator, a true tree limb coddling a nest appeared to sprout from a gallery wall. More works still are perched atop pedestals throughout the gallery’s small room. Homes enough for a flock, each one for sale to benefit the gallery.
